EleksTube IPS New WebUI Control Center Guide

Upgrade your EleksTube IPS firmware and control everything — display modes, RGB lighting, weather, clock faces — from any device on your Wi-Fi network.

What you get: A browser-based control center accessible from any phone, tablet, or computer. No app download needed — just open your device's IP address in any browser.

Before You Begin

Please complete these steps in order. Skipping steps may result in device issues.

  1. Verify your device model

    This firmware is compatible with EleksTube IPS, PR1, PR2, PR3, and PRO models running firmware Ver3.x. For IPS Classic models, verify that the 4 control buttons are on the front side (facing the display). If your buttons are on the back, do not proceed.

  2. Back up your current firmware

    Before upgrading, back up your clock's original firmware using our Firmware Backup Guide. This ensures you can restore your device if anything goes wrong.

  3. Install the new firmware

    Visit the WebUI Firmware Installer, connect your clock via USB data cable, and follow the on-screen instructions. The process takes about 2 minutes.

  4. Connect to Wi-Fi

    After installation, your device broadcasts a Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to the open network starting with "EM-IPS-XXXXXX" (no password required). Open a browser and visit 192.168.4.1 to configure your home Wi-Fi. Once connected, press the rightmost button on the device to see its IP address.

Control Center Overview

The control center features a dark-themed interface with a left navigation panel. The top bar shows your device ID, IP address, and firmware version.
